Breakfast, getting me ready to face the world

[badseed1980]

I was envious of evalisbeth's yummy-sounding breakfast, so I decided I had to make something special myself. I ended up with two strips of good Boar's Head bacon and two halved heirloom tomatoes, all broiled to the perfect doneness, and two slices of whole grain toast with no processed sugars added. I sprinkled the tomatoes with fleur de sel, fresh-ground black pepper, and mixed Italian herbs. Lately, I've been perplexed about what to do with my toast. I'm not a big fan of margarine, I don't want to have too much butter in my diet (because hey, saturated fats aren't health food either, and this meal already had bacon in it), and I don't currently have any jam but fig, and that isn't what I normally want on toast in the morning. So, lately I've been eating my toast dry. If I don't get light bread, it's actually quite good. I really get the grain flavor that way. I think that from now on, I am going to do that most of the time, and maybe get a little jar of good marmalade for those times when I want something added.

On the to-do list for today, now that I'm fed and caffeinated:

1. Find out where the studs are in my back closet wall
2. Buy the stuff I need to improve my closet (a board, two braces, a metal rod, and some hardware)
3. Fix up the closet
4. Go grocery shopping: I need apples, and other things
5. Figure out how to download some new ringtones to my phone, now that I have a USB cable for it

I'm trying to keep it light.

Perhaps a soy butter substitute, or something like goat cheese instead?

I don't want anything that heavy. I'm honestly not LOOKING for anything to put on my toast. I do have many options at my disposal, and plenty of imagination to think of more, but I'm liking it plain.
